1. Make flyers of website
2. Contact Save the Waves to send flyers to them so that their side can help with Cowell beach
3. (maybe) have a day where I go to Cowell Beach and all the Save the Wave people come and we all set up the tables and trash cans and everything.

# data[].attributes.body
Once confirmed with Cowell beach, get ready with getting supplies and possible going to the beach and helping out. Set up a website for people who wish to donate to Cowell Beach or help out with Pick Up Trash Day, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Once Save the Waves agree with a plan, then call Cowell beach and talk about what I am trying to do and financial issues and how this will eventually work its way to help the beach and the people around it.

# data[].attributes.body
Call Save the Waves and share ideas for saving Cowell Beach. Discuss money and fundraisers and making tables and etc.

# data[].attributes.body
The next few boxes will be the steps of this project.

# data[].attributes.body
Cowell Beach has sea otters that rest on the side of the beach, and sea otters include many diseases that come from their eye goop, urine, etc. When the waves wash on the sea otters and go back into the ocean, the ocean now has some bacteria from the sea otters. Possibly, we could relocate the sea otters so that the ocean won't have sea otter bacteria making the water dirty.

# data[].attributes.body
Pigeons also hate spiky things such as spikes and slinkies, so if we put slinkies or spikes on places pigeons perch on, it may stop them. But it won't stop all because they can also fly and poo in the ocean as well.

# data[].attributes.body
Pigeons are the main reason on the pollution. We can try to repel them with strong spices, which they hate. But the risky part is that the wind may blow the spices into the ocean, leading to a even more dirty ocean.

Some say rotting kelp coming up on short may also be the cause of water pollution

Santa Cruz beaches all have a pretty good history of water cleanness, it's Cowell beach that brings it down.

# data[].attributes.body
Currently, people are building a block so that dirty Neary Lagoon water doesn't flow into Cowell Beach, making it even more dirty.

# data[].attributes.body
"the City has already taken, such as fixing broken sewer laterals, diverting run-off during the dry season into the waste water treatment plant, sealing off any flows to the beach from Neary Lagoon, and human DNA monitoring."

# data[].attributes.body
The birds are pooing in the water because of people eating on the beach, so if we ban eating on the beach and INSTEAD make a picnic area near the beach, it's a compromise for the best!

To add to pollution, needles from druggies have been found on the beach, which is unsafe for children, and if it gets in the ocean, may harm/poison it.

# data[].attributes.body
The pollution can lead to many disastorus things including:
1. Cowell beach losing visitors
2. Bacteria may rise into the air, leading to more health problems
3. Someone touches the water and gets sick, who's responsible? The beach.
4. People have to go further to go to a beach, instead of going to Cowell beach.

Heal The Bay: Santa Cruz Cowell Beach is the worst, again

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Out of California’s 456 beaches, Cowell Beach ranked as the dirtiest.

# data[].attributes.body
1. People eat food on beach, and don't throw away trash OR people throw away their trash, but the trash can overflows and the trash gets back on the sand.
2. Trash may have some remains of food in it
3. Birds eat the food
4. Birds need to go to the bathroom
5. They do it above the ocean or on the sand, polluting it with bacteria and germs

Therefore, to stop it, I can:
1. Go to Cowell Beach and pick up the trash/empty the trash cans
2. Contact local people and have them have a day where they all go to the beach and clean stuff up
3. Get organization to try and take away the E. Coli bacteria so that it's actually able to be swum in

# data[].attributes.body
-Birds pooping in the ocean are making the water dirty
-Crews found out that human fecal matter have been going under the sand

E. coli and enterococus, which mainly comes from the birds

-Part of the pollution is birds doing their business on the beach sand, or the ocean. Work is trying to install steel fencing to stop the birds.
-Bacteria from the birds can cause stomach flu, ear infections, and skin rashes.
-Some say El Nino contributed to poor water conditions because the rainfall can cause older sewage systems to release under-treated sewage in the water.
